About this Product
This pet portrait on canvas is painted with watercolor paints on watercolor canvas. Makes a perfect pet memorial gift for that special someone in your life that has lost their precious furry child. Or for yourself to memorialize your precious pet. I can paint any animal that you chose from your photo- dog, cat, horse, rabbit, whatever. Just attach a photo or photos of your pet in the message area when you order. You are able to attach up to 3 photos. Please make sure the photos are of good quality and not blurred, so that I can get a good look at the details of your pet. If you attach more than one photo let me know which one you prefer to have painted. I prefer a close up of the face to best show the pet's personality through the pet's eyes. The size of the painting in this listing will be 12" x 12". There will be a hanging wire on the back to hang the painting. It isn't necessary to frame these since I paint along the sides of the canvas so that it can hang unframed. I also spray several coats of a UV Protectant on the painting so that it does not need to be hung under glass like most watercolors. If you want the name and or dates added on the painting, let me know when you message the photo. Since this is a custom made order, please allow up to two weeks to receive it and during the busy Christmas Season (which I start getting busy with orders in October) please allow two to four weeks to receive the painting. So order early if you want it by Christmas. At the time of your order, I will be able to let you know when to expect your painting according to the amount of orders ahead of yours. - Original watercolor on watercolor canvas - Size: 12" x 12" - Unframed but ready to hang with wire attached and sides painted - Your pet painted from your photo supplied to me.
Wilderness Spirit Art Studio
Meet the Maker
Following my dream, my husband and I moved to Montana to live among the wildlife and Rocky Mountains that I love to paint. Now I am enjoying living and painting in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley of Northwestern Montana, where the inspiration and subject matter for my paintings surround me. Along with my art, we opened a Vacation Cabin rental business with three adorable cabins. It’s called Wilderness Spirit Cabins and a great place to come and vacation and enjoy the spectacular view our cabins have. (Website is www.wildernessspiritcabins.com) You can come see the view that inspires my paintings. I have my art studio located in the lower level of our log home and my paintings decorate the three cabins we rent out to vacationers. So it’s like having three mini galleries to display and sell my art. My art specialty is in the media of watercolor but I also love to paint with acrylics on Christmas ornaments, leather and feathers. The artwork items that I offer for sale on my Etsy store are different passions of mine that I love to make, paint and share with you.
For my background, I grew up being very artistic. It’s how my dad kept me quiet as a little girl while in church services. He would bring along pencils and magic markers and hand them to me and I would sit and draw. The influence and encouragement of a Junior High school art teacher got me going on wanting a career as an artist. Being accepted by the Art Instruction School’s “Draw Me” contest, into the Art Instruction School, got me started in the basics and beginning of becoming a professional artist. After graduation from high school, I attended and graduated from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Denver Colorado. Upon graduation, I embarked on my art career by freelancing in the commercial art arena and doing hand-painted signs, logo design, illustrations and also courtroom sketches for the local television stations where I moved back to, in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where I grew up. But my heart stayed in the west and with my passion of painting. So eventually, I started concentrating on the fine art of watercolor. Which is what I specialize in currently.
I offer giclee reproductions of my original paintings as well as some of the originals in my store. But I also offer my other artwork I enjoy doing, such as the custom hand painted ornaments of your pets, the hand painted feathers, and rustic hand painted signs which I paint with acrylic paints. Since I am an avid animal lover, I have four cats and one dog myself, I also love to do custom commissioned pet portraits for customers of their pets. I offer the pet portraits in the media of watercolor and just discovered and started painting on the new watercolor canvas. The watercolor is sprayed with a fixative that gives one the ability to hang the canvas like an oil or acrylic without matboard and under glass framing. I love this new way of presenting watercolors. Saves the customer the expense of framing. Also new to my inventory, is the pet portrait as a mini painting which is perfect for those that can’t afford a bigger more expensive portrait of their pet. It is an acrylic painting on a 4”x4” canvas and can come with a mini easel to display your pet portrait. It makes a perfect memorial to your precious pet or as a gift for your friend or family member. All I need is a photo of your pet-dog, cat, horse, whatever it is, and I will paint it.
Thank you for checking out my Goimagine store and my artwork and if you have any questions or comments about what I do, please feel free to message me. I am able to do commissioned paintings of a special photograph for you as well. Enjoy looking and Thank you!
How it’s Made
I will paint your pet from a photo you supply, on a 12" x 12" watercolor canvas. I use watercolor paints and paint the side of the canvas as well so you can hang it without a frame. I will seal the painting with UV protectant spray varnish. It will have a hanging wire on the back so it's ready to hang.
